Resilience in the Face of Serious Illness Among Chronically Ill African Americans in Later Life
This research attests to the importance of examining racism in the analysis of how older ethnic minorities live with chronic illness, as it provides the context for understanding the development of culturally specific philosophies about illness.

Low socioeconomic statu…
